Make sure the shift lever on the transmission is actually shifting the shaft that selects the gears.....Something is slipping where you installed the bushing.....Check for proper cable adjustment....Apply the E- Brake while working with cable to prevent accidental runaway........
I am assuming you have high mileage and it is probably starting to wear out and will need a rebuild soon. You can take it to any auto parts store to get a computer reading and see if a transmission code got thrown up to the computer. Occasionally a relay will go bad in the transmission but if you're around 200,000 +/- 50K then you are in the possible realm of rebuild. Especially if you didn't flush your transmission fluid every 75k miles. You can use a siphon pump and pump out a quart of oil and put a quart of Lucas transmission oil to buy you some time and smooth out that hard shift a little bit(This is assuming its not completely shot yet). I had a chevy truck that had the 4l60e transmission, I could tell it shifted a little rough but couldn't do a flush because I could tell there was too much fiber in the fluid and the transmission would go if I flushed it. I put Lucas in it then at 170k, smoothed out the hard shifting significantly and I finally rebuilt the transmission at 230k. Its not a miracle in a bottle but if you catch the issue early, it can give you some extra mileage out of it like my extra 50K.
After checking the easy stuff first like low oil level, if it is high RPM(revs) & shifts hard(lurch when it does shift) then I am thinking the transmission filter & oil need to be changed. The transmission filter acts as a suction screen on an automatic transmission & as it collects contaminants to protect the inner workings of the transmission, it becomes plugged which greatly affects the ability to shift especially the high gears at faster acceleration.
I can not comment from a legal standpoint, but yes it does sound like a scam. Normally a flush and fill involves pumping the fluid out of the dipstick tube, or removing the oil pan.
It can be issue with gears or problem with transmission and needs to be rebuilt. Also get the tranny fluid checked. If it\'s low, then such problems occurs.
